Martinez Alvarez had left an after-hours club on South Gessner in a vehicle driven by another man, Silva said. Two other vehicles approached them from behind, driving erratically, with gun fire coming from one or both vehicles, Silva said.

Bullets struck the rear window and door of the vehicle carrying Martinez Alvarez, who was fatally wounded.

The driver of the vehicle in which Martinez Alvarez was a passenger continued to a home in the 6400 block of Frosty Brook, where someone called 911. Paramedics tended to Martinez Alvarez, who died at the scene, Silva said.

It was unclear how many people were involved in the shooting, and no description of their vehicles was available, Silva said.
